OILOILOIL and then OILOILOIL...if you want it to last OILOILOIL, it will get sticky and it will start to wear metal on metal shortly if not so already.. there's only one way.. oil it and then oil it somemore.......hopefully you cleaned the barrel somewhat during the first thiry shots... if not you don't need to worry about that part anymore.. any metal filings or burrs will already have gouged the land and bearng surfaces...REMEMBER, just a little oil, not a gallon.. I'd reccomend BUTCHes OIL, the red stuff.. works like a charm and never GUMS up in cold weather.. I've had it out at 10 below zero and it was still good to go... OIL MY FRIEND OIL !!!
